GROUND-BREAKING CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

We have not reinvented the wheel – but we put together some wonderful pieces of digital technology.

ARaction is a clever combination of powerful hard- and software components. One of the major pieces of the puzzle is brand new on the market and was developed by Google in collaboration with industry leaders and universities. Other pieces are based on an incredibly versatile and extremely popular content management system and one of the most successful 3D engines for mobile devices.

The seamless and creative blending of these technologies is ARaction’s achievement – it guarantees our customers maximum flexibility and sustainability.

Sensor Technology

Tango is the combination of a set of sensors with computer vision software. It enables ARaction to understand space and motion like humans do. Tango supports motion tracking, depth perception, and area learning capabilities. It can understand the device’s motion as it is moved through an area, detect how far away it is from the floor, walls, and objects, and see and remember the key visual features of a physical three-dimensional space.

NEW: ARaction will also support ARCore!*

Mobile Devices

ARaction uses high-performance smartphones of the latest generation to power your presentation. Two phones that support Google Tango are currently available on the market: Lenovo’s Phab 2 Pro and ASUS’s Zenfone AR.

If you want to use ARaction with ARCore, you’ll need a Google Pixel and Pixel XL or Samsung Galaxy S8 (many more supported devices coming soon).

We always stay up to date in the fast-moving tech market and keep in direct contact with the manufacturers. Thereby, we can offer you the most attractive hardware prices for your project – no matter whether you want to buy or lease the devices.

Content Management System

WordPress: 59% market share. 44 thousand different plugins. 56 translations. And a community of uncountable WordPress enthusiasts out there! That is why WordPress is the most versatile basis for our ARaction backend you could imagine: By combining our ARaction WP plugin with all the tools from the WordPress ecosystem you will save a lot of time and money – and you can create the most powerful AR presentation system ever!

3D Engine

Unity is a powerful engine for mobile devices and fuels ARaction under the bonnet. Whenever you want to add 3D elements (e.g. reconstructions, CAD models, animations) to your real objects, Unity will do all the heavy lifting for you.
